Trump has always been physical coward. President Obama isn't-- and he visited American fighting men and women in Afghanistan... four timesI spent a lot of my life on the road, living abroad, traveling, working, exploring... People always ask me what my favorite place to visit was. I can never just come up with one. But if it could only be 3... it would be Afghanistan, Morocco and Nepal-- although France, Turkey, Holland, Italy and Thailand are just fractionally not on that "best of" list. Nepal's air-- or at least Kathmandu's-- is too polluted to go back to now and Afghanistan has been ravaged and destroyed by a couple of decades of war and is way too dangerous for anyone to consider traveling to. But I will always remember and be thankful for my two trips to Afghanistan-- one in 1969 and one in 1971 or '72. Wonderful people, beautiful country, absolutely fascinating culture! All these years later and I have lost my ability to speak Dari (Farsi) and Pashtun, although... when I'm in DC and run across the inevitable Afghan taxi driver, it slowly starts coming back to me.I can guarantee you though, that the bristling warthog in the White House pretending to be president has never been to Afghanistan, not before he stole the election and not now with American troops stationed there. North Korea is more up his alley. Yesterday, the grotesque slob-- may he never see another morning-- speaking alongside Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Oval Office, threatened to obliterate Pakistan's next door neighbor.The smarmy half pig, half something else-- who lies so much that no one believes anything he says-- boasted to the media, and the Pakistanis, that "If we wanted to fight a war in Afghanistan and win it, I could win that war in a week. I just don't want to kill 10 million people." 10 million people in a week? That means nukes-- with plenty of radioactivity for Pakistan, India, Iran, Russia and China. More bullshit from God's curse on America: "I have plans on Afghanistan that if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth. It would be gone. It would be over in-- literally in ten days. And I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to go that route."If Trump had even the slightest inkling of understanding of Afghanistan and its people and culture, he wouldn't have made the deeply insulting comments about a country that has never been conquered-- not by Alexander the Great, not by the British, not by the Russians nor-- after 2 decades, by the Americans. This morning, Afghanistan reacted badly to moronic Trump's remarks. The country's president, Ashraf Ghani: "The Afghan nation has not and will never allow any foreign power to determine its fate. While the Afghan government supports the U.S. efforts for ensuring peace in Afghanistan, the government underscores that foreign heads of state cannot determine Afghanistan’s fate in absence of the Afghan leadership." Former intelligence chief Rahmatullah Nabil addressed the despised Trumpanzee directly on Twitter: "Your insulting message to (Afghanistan) is either accept the (Pakistani) proposal for peace or eventually you may have to use nukes."Trump continues bribing, begging and blackmailing Pakistan into taking Afghanistan out of his incapable tiny hands. He whined to Imran Khan: "Basically, we’re policemen right now, and we’re not supposed to be policemen. We’ve been there for 19 years in Afghanistan. It’s ridiculous, and I think Pakistan helps us with that because we don't want to stay as policemen. If we wanted to, we could win that war. I have a plan that would win that war in a very short period of time, you understand that better than anybody. [But instead of] "fighting to win," [we're too focused on] "building gas stations" [and] "rebuilding schools. The United States, we shouldn't be doing that. That’s for them to do. But what we did and what our leadership got us into is ridiculous."
Khan also made a diplomatic ask of Trump from the White House, requesting that his American counterpart step in to broker talks between Pakistan and India aimed at ending the more than 70-year Kashmir territorial conflict.“I feel that only the most powerful state, headed by President Trump, can bring the two countries together," Khan said, adding that the U.S. "can play the most important role in bringing peace in the subcontinent.”Trump told Khan that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also extended the invitation to arbitrate the negotiations two weeks ago, and that he would "love to be a mediator" for the South Asian nations.“President, I can tell you that right now, you will have the prayers of over a billion people if you can mediate and resolve the situation," Khan replied.But Raveesh Kumar, the spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs, tweeted Monday afternoon that Modi never called on Trump to intervene in the Kashmir dialogue, writing online: "It has been India's consistent position ... that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally."
